believed to involve donations from a chinese businessman who does have a green card, from businesses associated with him. now, this is the second consecutive republican governor to face a corruption investigation. terry mcauliffe's predecessor bob mcdonald was convicted of corruption charges. those are now on appeal. mcauliffe is a close ally with both bill and hillary clinton. and so that adds an extra dimension to it. he's served on the board of the clinton foundation. which has been very significant in terms of criticism from hillary clinton, from her service as secretary of state. and fund-raising issues. so this is something to watch. no charges yet. but there is an investigation ongoing. >> would it not be far off base, john, to extrapolate that some of the possible campaign dorm nation violations were related to the clinton campaign? >> too early to say. we don't know. if in fact there are charges in this case, and if they're in any way connected to the clinton foundation, that would be very problematic for hillary clinton. but that hasn't happened. we're just going to have to watch and

a business trade association says they would happy trade hillary for donald. because they still don't know what to make of him. charles, you first. to not know him is to not vote for him. >> they know some of the things he's thrown out. the main point is that these are large organizations. they are trade businesses. they do a lot of business overseas. so they don't want to hear about trade wars. they don't want to hear about anything to do -- >> trade wars by definition you are petitioning from the government. >> petitioning something from the government. 16 of these organizations that cover hundred thousand businesses. 3 trillion dollars. >> like her. >> they like her. they don't want a trade war. on the other end of the spectrum. the small businesses, which have created all the jobs in the last ten years, net. they probably if polled the same way would go for donald trump. they would probably be very happy about his insistence in building things in this country. his insistence on not outsourcing work and those things. i think what we've got a situation where

people he has business associations with. had long-term relationships with all sorts of unsavory characters. mobsters, mob associates, convicted trafficker. he may be engaged in a lot of offshore activity to avoid taxes that he'd rather not people know about. i suspect it will show no gifts to charity since he's given nothing to the donald trump foundation for ten years and it's primarily funded by people who have business contracts with him. there may also be a big mismatch in his tax returns. he's been pictured with documents up to here. donald has in the past reported one set of numbers here and a different set of numbers here to advantage himself and gotten away with it. and so he says he's audited every year for 12 years? that doesn't happen to people. if it's actually happened, it suggests that there are serious problems with his tax returns. >> yeah, i was curious about that when i first heard him say that. seems like a strange thing to make up. if you are making it up, it doesn't seem to reflect well on you, getting a

generally, when i enter through the back door, i feel like businesses are embarrassed or ashamed to associate with me. because of my physical limitations. this is understandable to a point. because there are few disabled individuals, including lawyers, that make it their personal mission in life to collect money from businesses. that they have never been to. it seems this handful of lawyers think they are only helping the disabled community -- that they are helping the disabled community. moreover, they are separating the disabled community and the abled community. the lawyers are causing the able-bodied community to dislike americans with disability act. this makes the rest of small business owners who are trying to earn an honest living look bad. throughout my life, people are generally very helpful. when i am out and about in the community, people offer their kindness to assist me. whether i accept or decline is up to me. i also have a voice if i need assistance. i can ask for help. i do not want business owners to cringe when they see me enter their establishment. personal experience, i w

local chambers of commerce, small business associations and organizations joined in a letter voicing their concerns that this rule disproportionately disadvantages small businesses and those businesses with assets of less than $50 million and stifles retirement savings for millions of employees by placing additional burdens on america's leading job creators, small businesses, which will likely substantially reduce retirement savings for many americans. the administration has heard these protests over these regulations, but these officials don't seem to care about the harm it will cause. according to a report released by senate homeland and government affairs chairman, the administration has -- quote -- disregarded concerns and declined to implement recommendations from career nonpartisan staff and government officials. not for the first time, this administration is rolling roughshod right over the concerns of too many americans, including the people that should be -- it should be working to protect like working families and low-income seniors. that's why i'm proud to support this disa

another one that just happened very recently is there's a business association here in washington, d.c., that i went to, could not get in. the front entrance is not accessible. couldn't independently enter the building either. i told them all of that. i gave them resources to get information on what the fixes were. i checked back with them about 2 1/2 months later to see if they had made any progress on making their building accessible. i got no response. so i waited for about another two weeks, sent them another e-mail asking if they had made any progress. no response. i did that three times with no response. so then i made a phone call. they weren't in so i left a message. no response to my phone call. frankly, that is most of the responses you get from -- when you notify people that there's a problem, you don't get any return response. that's what's happened to me over and over. it's what happened -- >> thank you, sir. i appreciate it. my time's out. >> i will now recognize the gentleman from iowa, mr. king for five minutes. >> thank mr. chairman and i thank the witnesses for your t

business of owning and operating hotels. the seller and the buyer determined that the land and the building had a value of $18.8 million approximately. and thintangible property associatedith the hotel was valued at approximately $10 million. because the seller and buyer are in the hotel business, we think the value they assigned to the intangible properties should be respected. secondly, the matter of timing. it has been roughly three-and-a-half years since the purchase occurred, as we read the transfer tax ordinance, the period to initiate lien proceedings expired in approximately december 2013. in other words, the property was purchased in november 2012 and the tax became delinquent [ inaudible ] and 12 months from that time. >> madam chair, the speaker's time has concluded. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, president breed, honorable supervisors. my name is charles mall for the law firm of winston and strom on behalf of the par 55 hotel. as you know when hotels are sold, they sell real estate and real property beds and tvs, et cetera and tangible property, concerning value, par the name of the hotel, and things of that nature. the parties here a
